April.

"AHHH! Mommy Joe do it again!"

"Joseph, stop pulling your sister's hair!"

"Mommy she hit me!"

"Heidi, did you hit him?"

"Yeah, so?"

Arvilla sighs.
"Please just stop. Both of you."

"Mama I pee peed." Heidi says.

"Why? Didn't I tell you to tell me when you had to go?"

"It jus came out!"

"Alright fine. Joe, do you have to potty?"

"No I did it already."

"Well potty training is going great!"

"Mommy, uncle Bobby's here!" Heidi runs to the door.

"I'm here!" Robert smiles. "You okay?" He chuckles at the look on Arvilla's face.

"Oh yeah!  I'm just slowly losing my mind."

"I'm sorry." Robert kisses her lips. "I'm assuming potty training isn't going as planned?"

"No." Arvilla nods.

"Me n' Joe Joe not gonna used da potty!" Heidi nods.

Arvilla sighs with exhaustion.
"Come on, dinners ready."

"Wait." Robert quickly grabs her hand and pulls her back.

"What?"

"Give me a real kiss." He then presses Arvilla's body against his and kisses her passionately.

Heidi giggles and covers her mouth.
"They lub kishing."

Joseph runs over and pulls on Arvilla's skirt.
Arvilla gasps and looks down. "Joseph!"

"Hey!" Robert chuckles. "Next time pull harder, bud."

"Oh my goodness." Arvilla shakes her head. "Let's go eat."

"Wait I got pee!" Heidi shouts and makes a face at her mother.

"Oh yes, I forgot!  Let me change them honey.  I'll be down in a second."

**

"Mmmm!  Mommy a good cook!" Joseph says.

"Aw thank you, my love."

Just then the doorbell rings.

"I wonder who that is."

"You want me to answer it?" Robert asks.

"No, it's okay.  I'll be right back."

Arvilla walks to the front door and opens it.
When she sees who is standing there she takes a sharp breath in.

"Oh!  Francine!  Hello!" She smiles. "I didn't expect it to be you.. um.. come in.."

"Thank you."

"How have you been, Francine?"

"Fine.  Arvilla, I'm here to discuss-"

Just then the twins run to Arvilla.

"We done!  Uncle Bobby got us out of our chairs!" Heidi says as her curly blonde pigtails bounce as she runs.

"We just wanted to make sure you were okay.  Sorry to interrupt.  Kids, let's go upstairs and play."

"No, no, that's okay!  Um.. Francine, this is Robert.  My friend."

"And this is Heidi, and Joe.." Arvilla's then fidgets with her hands and looks to Robert.

"This is Francine.  Joe's daughter."

"Oh!  Well hello it's nice to meet you." Robert holds his hand out.

"Nice to meet you."

"Who dis lady in my home?" Heidi asks her mother.

Arvilla chuckles and takes the twins hands, guiding them to the couch.

"Francine, have a seat."

"Joe.. Heidi.. this is your sister." Arvilla smiles.

"Wha?  Noooo." Heidi nods.

"Yes it is!  This is Daddy's daughter."

Joseph immediately gets shy and sucks on his thumb.

"I daddy's daughter!"

"Yes you are, sweet pea.  But This is his oldest daughter.. Francine."

"Hmm."

"Joe can you say hi?"

"Hi.." Joseph speaks in a low voice.

Francine looked at Joe and her breath was taken away. "He has daddy's eyes."

Arvilla smiles. "I know.  With them it's like I have a little piece of Joe with me."

Francine holds her tears in and quickly changes the subject.

"Arvilla, I'm here to discuss Daddy's finances."

"What do you mean?"

"I need the money daddy left you."

Arvilla scoffs. "Wow.  You don't call or write once in three years.  You barley even called your father when he was alive.  You've never met your siblings, but now that you need money, you're here."

"Arvilla, daddy would want me to have it."

"Oh stop that.  That money is for our children, Francine.  I'm not giving you a dime of it."

"Arv, why don't I take the kids upstairs."

"Thank you, Bobby."

"Uncle Bobby, we play dollies?" Heidi smiles.

"Of course, Princess!"

"Uncle?  I didn't know you had a brother, Arvilla."

"Oh uh.."

"Uncle Bobby not mommy's bwother." Heidi laughs.

"Take them upstairs, Robert." Arvilla said.  She knew Heidi would blow their secret.

"Uncle Bobby is mommy's boy fwiend!" She smiles.

Francine's jaw drops.

"Go, Robert!"

Robert quickly takes the kids upstairs.

"You're seeing someone else?  How could you bring a man into my father's home?  How could you have sex in the same room you once shared with him?!"

"Francine he doesn't live here!  Just calm down or leave."

"This is my father's house!"

"It's mine too, and I will not stand here and let you yell at me in my home." Arvilla stands as her voice grows louder.

"Arvilla-"

"Why are you here?  Why are you asking for money?  Don't you have your own?!"

Francine sighs and looks down.

"What happened to your money?"

"Arvilla, that's my business."

"And so is my money but here you are asking for it."

"I lost it, okay?  I lost it all!"

"How?"

"Bad stock.. many reasons but that doesn't matter.  I need help, Arvilla."

"I don't know, Francine.  This money is for my kids."

"Just give me half!"

"Francine, you need to leave."

"No!  I'm not leaving here without something!  My father wouldn't approve of that man up there with his kids!  He wouldn't approve of you being a slut with him in his home he worked hard for!"

Just then Robert came down.

"I heard yelling.  Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine.  Francine was just leaving."

"He should be the one to leave!  You shouldn't be up there with those kids!"

"I-"

Arvilla cuts Robert off.
"Excuse me but this man has been here since day one!  He was there when those little babies came out!  So don't you dare speak to him that way!"

"He was there when they were born?  How long have you been with him, Arvilla?"

"We were just friends then.  If you must know, Robert and I didn't start dating until February of this year."

Francine scoffs "I don't believe that.  You were probably cheating on my father with this loser!"

"That's enough!" Arvilla shouts. "Get the hell out of my home!  Go back to pretending me and your brother and sister don't exist!  And don't you Ever think of coming back here.  As much as I wanted mine and Joe's children to have a relationship with you, it isn't worth it.  I don't want you around them.  Now Leave!"

Francine gives Arvilla an evil look before walking out.

Arvilla slams the door behind her and huffs.

"Wow.  That was awesome." Robert smiles.

Arvilla looks up to him and sighs as she shakes her head. "I've never liked her."

"She seems intense.  But you were great!"

"Thanks.. I'm so sorry she spoke to you that way.  You earned your spot here and you know it."

"Yeah.." Robert walks closer.
Arvilla then grabs him and kisses him intensely.

"Mmm!" Robert hums into her lips.
He then places his hands on her back and presses her body into his.

"I want you, Bobby." Arvilla moans.

"What?" Robert pulls his lips away from hers.

"I'm ready."

Robert pauses for a moment and lifts her up. Arvilla wraps her legs around him and continues kissing him.

"Take me." Arvilla whispers loudly.

"Mommy!" Heidi shouts from the room.

"Oh my gosh!  Crap!" Arvilla throws her head back.

Robert laughs and kisses her neck.

"I completely forgot about those little midgets for a moment."

"Yeah me too.. Come on." Robert stands her up and softly taps her butt. "Let's go play."

"That's what I was just asking you to do!" She smirks.

Robert laughs and scoops her up before taking her upstairs.

Arvilla giggled loudly as he ran with her.

Maybe they weren't having a night of passion, but being with Robert and the twins still made Arvilla's heart happy.
